Hollande backs military campaign against Assad
French president Francois Hollande is condemning what he calls a “war crime” after a suspected chemical attack in Syria.
Government spokesman Stephane Le Foll reported Hollande’s comments during a weekly cabinet meeting.
Hollande recalled that France had pushed for an international military campaign against Syrian President Bashar Assad over his use of chemical weapons in 2013.
“France has not changed its position on this issue,” he said according to Le Foll.
France has supported Syrian rebels against Assad for years.
